    What if I’m driving a clunker and my transmission doesn’t handle constant speed changes well making staying on the on-ramp lane a little risky?

    Guess that depends on where you live. In my country that would make you an incompetent driver as it means you don’t look ahead and anticipate traffic enough if you constantly need to reduce speed. But on-ramps are around 200 meters long here, so you can spot traffic wanting to merge in time and for most cars that’s enough to get up to speed and merge smoothly.
